George Zimmerman smiles after a not guilty verdict was handed down in his trial at the Seminole County Courthouse in Sanford, Fla., earlier this month. Police reports say he was speeding across Texas Sunday.

A police dashcam video released Wednesday shows the officer speaking to Zimmerman and not immediately recognizing him. The officer asked where Zimmerman was headed, and Zimmerman responded: "Nowhere in particular," according to the CBS report. When the officer questioned him further, Zimmerman said: "You didn't see my name?"

The video shows the officer returning to his patrol car with Zimmerman's driver's license to check for outstanding warrants. The officer returned the license, instructed Zimmerman to slow down, and released him with a warning.

A spokesman for Zimmerman's legal team says he's baffled that a traffic stop would become national news.

"Baffled" might be a bit of overstatement.

It was national news when Zimmerman stopped to help a family in Florida get out of their SUV after it flipped onto its side on an exit ramp on July 17. The family even planned to hold a news conference to thank Zimmerman before backing out.

"They can't even say that George did something good for them because people out there believe he's so toxic even though he's been acquitted," said Mark O'Mara, Zimmerman's attorney, according to the Orlando Sentinel.

Zimmerman was acquitted on July 13 of both murder and manslaughter charges in the killing of teenager Trayvon Martin. The case gained national attention and became a part of a broader debate on race, gun control, and "stand your ground" self-defense laws.
